Notes on Diseases of the Horse: Cause, Symptoms and Treatment

by Charles James Korinek

Treatment.—Wash with a Carbolic solution, one tablespoonful to one pint of distilled water.

Sewing of Wounds.—I cannot say that I am in favor of sewing wounds unless they are gaping or wide open.

After the wound is washed, dust with Iodoform, Boracic Acid and Tannic Acid, each one ounce. Powder finely and place in a sifter top can and apply twice daily. Cord or heavy thread may be used for sewing the wound after being saturated in a Carbolic Acid solution, using a large needle. If the animal is vicious, place a twitch on his nose or it may be necessary to throw him.
